Runway Ranch
Description
Fly. Hunt. Fish. Ride.
Some properties offer a place to live. Others offer a place to escape. Runway Ranch offers a lifestyle that few properties in the Midwest can match.
Located just 50 miles north of St. Louis in scenic Calhoun County, Illinois, this remarkable 96-acre property brings together aviation, recreation, and country living into one extraordinary offering.
Imagine taking off after work and landing on your own 1,600-foot by 100-foot private airstrip less than an hour later. The scenic approach welcomes you home to rolling pastures, mature timber, and a beautiful stocked lake, creating an experience unlike any other.
The property is designed to support both work and recreation. A 96' x 75' metal building is divided into three functional spaces, including an aircraft hangar with a hydraulic Icon door and concrete floor, a heated and insulated workshop, and additional storage for equipment, vehicles, or recreational toys.
The comfortable 2-bedroom, 3-bath home overlooks the property and provides a peaceful place to unwind after a day outdoors. A guest cabin with an established history of rental income offers additional accommodations for family, friends, or continued investment potential.
Outside is where Runway Ranch truly shines.
The 3.5-acre stocked lake, reaching depths of nearly twenty feet, offers outstanding fishing for bass, bluegill, crappie, and catfish. Ten fenced paddocks ranging from one-half acre to twenty acres make the property ideal for horses, cattle, or even exotic livestock.
Calhoun County has long been recognized as one of Illinois' premier destinations for trophy whitetails, and this property provides exceptional habitat with mature timber, native warm-season grasses, water, and cover. Turkey are plentiful, while the established native grass fields provide excellent habitat for wild quail.
When you're ready to venture beyond the property, public hunting areas provide excellent duck hunting, while nearby McCully Heritage Project and Pere Marquette State Park offer miles of horseback riding, hiking, and outdoor adventure.
Whether your passion is flying, hunting, fishing, horseback riding, or simply enjoying the peace and beauty of the countryside, Runway Ranch delivers an opportunity that is nearly impossible to duplicate.
